Definitions
- the invention relates to a pressure container, especially for a fire-extinguishing agent, comprising a protective flask made e.g. of aluminium or plastic material and provided with a deaerating vent and in the upper part with a neck having an upwards opened circular bed formed at its inner periphery, there being a lid with a pressure valve removably fixed on the neck.
- a protective flask made e.g. of aluminium or plastic material and provided with a deaerating vent and in the upper part with a neck having an upwards opened circular bed formed at its inner periphery, there being a lid with a pressure valve removably fixed on the neck.
- Known pressure containers are usually formed by a metal pressure vessel in which a utility agent, e.g. hair lacquer, perfume, liquid soap, mustard etc., is placed.
- a utility agent e.g. hair lacquer, perfume, liquid soap, mustard etc.
- freon e.g., freon
- propane-butane e.g., propane-butane
- Another known solution is a use of memory characteristics of elastic material, e.g. of a rubber, to force out the utility agent.
- Yet another known solution is a pressure container comprising a protective flask in which an elastic bag is arranged, the elastic bag being sealed to a charge and discharge valve situated in the lid of the protective flask.
- a foil which is inert to the utility agent and which is fixed also to said valve is used. The utility agent is forced out of the pressure container by the contraction of the elastic bag.
- Another pressure container comprising also just a protective flask, e.g. of a plastic material, is provided with a closed hollow elastic storage bag sealed by the lid periphery, and with a charge valve which serves at the same time as a discharge valve arranged over the elastic storage bag and in the lid.
- the discharging of the utility agent out of the space above the upper part of the closed concave elastic storage bag is performed in this case by contraction of the material of the concave upper part of the closed hollow storage bag.
- it is performed by expansion of the gaseous medium compressed during filling of the pressure container inside of the closed hollow elastic storage bag which results in complete discharge of the utility agent.
- Hand-operated fire-extinguisher beside other fire-extinguishing means, are also known and used.
- These hand-operated fire-extinguishers comprise usually steel pressure container with a fire-extinguishing agent, e.g. with water, powder, foam, etc., which is either under constant pressure of gas, or which is provided with a closed, easily breakable ampule with a chemical creating overpressure when mixed with water or other chemical, the overpressure being able to discharge the fire-extinguishing agent out from the fire-extinguisher.
- a fire-extinguishing agent e.g. with water, powder, foam, etc.
- a pressure container especially for fire-extinguishing agent, comprising a protective flask made e.g. of aluminium or plastic material and provided with a deaerating vent and in the upper part with a neck having an upwards opened circular bed formed at its inner periphery, there being a lid with a pressure valve removably fixed on the neck, the gist of the solution of the problem being that between said circular bed and said lid a bead of an elastic storage bag is clamped, said bead being partly inserted into the inner area of the protective flask, while to said pressure valve a working bag is fastened, said working bag being partly inserted into the inner area of the elastic storage bag, into which a charge and discharge valve, built in in the lid extends, said valve (14) being provided outside said lid with a spraying discharge nozzle.
- a protective flask made e.g. of aluminium or plastic material and provided with a deaerating vent and in the upper part with a neck having an upwards opened circular bed formed
- An advantage of the present pressure container is that it does not use harmful agent for discharging of the pressure flask, it makes repeated use possible, no explosion danger of the pressure flask threatens as it may especially when using known fire-extinguisher.
- Another advantage is a complete discharge of the content of the fire-extinguisher.
- the present invention makes it possible to use both the discharge valve and the outlets with thermal fuses, which enables e.g. throwing of the pressure container directly into the fire and in such a way to increase the fire-extinguishing effect.
- the pressure container may also be arranged as a precaution in places where fire could arise, e.g. in motor space of motor vehicles.
- the elastic storage bag of the pressure container may be filled not only with water but also with other fire-extinguishing agents, such as powder, foam, trichloroethylene etc.
- the pressure container comprises a protective flask 1 which is made of aluminium or plastic material and which is provided, preferably at its bottom 2, with a deaerating vent 3, and at its top part, with a neck 4.
- the neck 4 is provided, at its inner periphery, with a circular bed 5 which is open in upward direction, and in which an elastic storage bag 7 for fire-extinguishing agent is inserted with its bead 6.
- the neck 4 is covered by a lid 8, which is preferably bolted to the neck 4, the peripheral part of the front surface 9 of the lid 8 adjoining the bead 6 of the elastic storage bag 7.
- a common pressure valve 10 is built in in the lid 8 and mouths in a working bag 11 which is fastened e.g.
- the working bag 11 is intended to be filled with a compressible, preferably incombustible gas, e.g. nitrogen or air with possible addition of fire-extinguishing agent, e.g. a powder.
- a compressible gas e.g. nitrogen or air with possible addition of fire-extinguishing agent, e.g. a powder.
- the lid 8 Besides the pressure valve 10 another charge and discharge valve 14 for fire-extinguishing agent is arranged in the lid 8.
- the valve 14 mouths in the inner area 13 of the elastic storage bag 7 and is provided with e.g. a spraying discharge nozzle 15 outside of the lid 8.
- the elastic storage bag 7 may be provided with a separating foil (not shown) at its inner surface.
- the casing of the protective flask 1 may be provided with at least one outlet 16 with a thermal fuse 17 made as a protective cover of a tip 18 protruding against the wall of the elastic storage bag 7 and created e.g.
- the tip may be formed of a metal and may be fixed to the cover of the protective flask 1 in the proximity of the outlet 16.
- the thermal fuse 17 is made of a material meltable or combustible by fire, e.g. of a wax or plastic material with a low fusing or burning temperature.
- the elastic storage bag 7 When assembling the pressure container the elastic storage bag 7 is inserted into the protective flask till the bead 6 of said elastic storage bag 7 fits into the circular bed 5. Then the lid 8 with the working bag 11 at its pressure valve 10 is set on the neck 4 and the is secured e.g. by screwing on, whereby the bead 6 of the storage bag 7 is tightly clamped.
- the filling of the assembled pressure container is performed through the charge and discharge valve 14 into the inner area 13 of the elastic storage bag 7, the cover of which extends and almost fills the inner space of the protective flask 1 from which the air leaks through the deaerating vent 3.
- the pressure gas preferably nitrogen
- the pressure gas is forced from a pressure medium supply through pressure valve 10 into the working bag 11.
- the elastic storage bag 7 is pressed against the inner wall and against the bottom 2 of the protective flask 1 and at the same time against the thermal fuse 17 of the outlet 16.
- the described pressure container in two ways.
- One way is putting of the spraying discharge nozzle 15 on the charge and discharge valve 14.
- the fire-extinguishing agent is pressed by both the force accumulated in the material of the elastic storage bag 7 and by the pressure, e.g. of the nitrogen, in the working bag 11, which secures constant and complete discharge of the fire-extinguishing agent.
- the other way of using of the pressure container is that it is thrown into a fire, wherein, after melting or combustion of the thermal fuse 17 the bared tip 18 punctures the elastic storage bag 7 and the fire-extinguishing agent begins to stream out of it through the outlet 16 into the fire and extinguishes the fire.
- This action may be performed also when the pressure container is arranged in a place where a fire may occur and when the fire breaks out, e.g. in the motor area of a vehicle.
- the pressure container may be used for various agents, such as liquid soap, tooth paste, ketchup, mustard etc., but especially for fire-extinguishing agents, which turn the pressure container in a fire-extinguisher.
